The Backoffice
How a student’s private Backoffice opens, one stage at a time.
Illustrative preview only. The Backoffice is a system of its own, and this page shows how it opens.
Each stage opens when the one before it is marked complete. The reading, the practice, the ritual sheets and the Head Master’s recordings for a stage all open together.
The stages of the first grade
Each open step carries its reading, its practice with an optional tally, the Ritual Builder sheets it needs and the Head Master’s audio journal of the same step.
The third grade
The Decan Year opens a sign at a time
In the Decan Year a sign’s three windows open in the Backoffice ten days before that sign’s first decan begins, and the next sign’s three open ten days before it. Each window holds its ritual set, its scrying instructions and the Head Master’s recordings of that decan.
The example shows a year opened at the vernal equinox.
Ritual Builder and videos
Choose the ritual set and print its sheet for the temple. Watch the professionally filmed video of the Head Master performing each of the five types of ritual work, and hear his recordings of the Divine Names and the Latin of the invocations in his voice.
Initiation
Each of the first five grades opens with an initiation that the Head Master, or an officiant he permits, performs for you live. Choose the date and hour here, at a time you can be alone in a quiet room for an hour.
Audio journals
The Head Master’s spoken journal for each stage you have opened.
